Re: [Qemu-devel] QEMU desired libiscsi.so clashes with libiscsi.so from iscsi-initiator-utils

[ronnie sahlberg]

Yes,

Very unfortuante since libiscsi is such a nice name for a
multiplatform library what even works on win32 :-(

I have so renamed it to libiscsiclient  and sent a patch to qemu to
this list to use -liscsiclient instead of -liscsi



tarballs  can be found at
https://github.com/sahlberg/libiscsi/downloads


That resolves all issues you are concerned about ?
